Chapter 218 Diagnosis: Male Breast Cancer
When Wei Ping returned to the office, there was already an old man in his sixties sitting inside. He had dark skin, no beard, and was a bit thin.
He felt a little embarrassed at this time.
The interns nearby just stood there.
I don’t know what to do.
"What's going on?"
Wei Ping asked.
Yang Ke then said, "This patient said he wanted you to see him, but he wouldn't answer any questions we asked him."
Wei Ping looked at the old man again, but didn't dare to look at him. At this time, he must have some unspeakable secret.
So, he told everyone, “I’ll do it!”
Then asked the old man.
"Old man, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The old man pointed to his chest.
"here!"
He seemed a little embarrassed.
Wei Ping thought it was a men's problem, but it seems not.
"let me see!"
"that……"
The old man looked at the girls around him and felt a little embarrassed.
"These are all doctors, don't be nervous!" Wei Ping said again.
Everyone then understood that this was what the old man was afraid of.
"But I still just want Dr. Wei to see it!"
"They are my interns. They only care about patients and nothing else. Don't worry. Come."
The old man didn't resist.
Afterwards, Wei Ping saw that the area on his right chest had become sunken and was surrounded by red rashes.
So he examined him and found a hard lump underneath.
So I turned on the perspective and was stunned.
It was a tumor three centimeters in diameter.
He also saw swollen lymph nodes in his right armpit.
Wei Ping's heart sank. If these two conditions appeared in this location, it must be male breast cancer!
But thankfully, he was early.
This disease is not difficult to treat. As long as the patient undergoes a complete right mastectomy and axillary lymph node clearance surgery, and takes anti-estrogen receptor drugs after the surgery, the patient can live a long life.
The old man was very nervous when he saw Wei Ping like this.
"Doctor, you are frowning. Do I have some incurable disease?" he asked.
When patients see a doctor react like this, they usually make up their own stories.
Wei Ping said to everyone, "There's a three-centimeter-diameter lump under the right chest, and there's an enlarged lymph node under the right armpit. What are these two typical conditions? Write down your answers. Also, the patient's weight loss and other symptoms can aid in the diagnosis."
Everyone wrote it down.
The old man was a little embarrassed.
I became a case myself.
Then he said to the old man: "Your problem is not serious, just go to the oncology department for treatment!"
When the old man heard this, he asked, "Oncology Department?"
"Do I...have cancer?"
“Yes, it’s male breast cancer!”
APP prompts: "Congratulations on being diagnosed with male breast cancer, you will receive RMB 3,000! Proficiency +300, /"
Male breast cancer is a rare malignant tumor, accounting for 0.2% to 1.5% of all male cancers and about 1% of breast cancers. Theoretically, breast cancer occurs due to the appearance of malignant tumor tissue in breast cells.
Men also have breast tissue and can develop breast cancer. However, due to differences in physiological structure, women are much more likely to develop breast cancer than men.
The old man lost his composure after hearing this.
At the same time, the interns were also shocked.
This may be the first case of male breast cancer they have encountered.
"Men can also get male breast cancer? I don't believe it! You must have made a misdiagnosis!" The old man refused to believe Wei Ping's words.
Just say he misdiagnosed.
Wei Ping didn't refute this, but said softly, "Old man, let's go to the oncology department for further examination. This disease is not serious. If it is discovered early and treated, you can be discharged soon! But if you delay, it will develop into the late stage and it will be bad."
Yang Ke followed up, "Our Doctor Wei will never make a wrong diagnosis. Early detection and early treatment will give us peace of mind!"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Wei, could you please accompany me?"
Most doctors will not agree to this request.
But Wei Ping is different.
"Okay, I'll go with you. The chief doctor in the oncology department is very good!"
The old man was a little nervous, but he would rather believe that Wei Ping's judgment was wrong.
"Let's go together!" Yang Ke asked.
"Okay, let's go together!"
Wei Ping did not refuse.
So, the group headed towards the oncology department.
This was their second visit to the oncology department.
When they arrived, their colleagues in the oncology department had not yet started seeing patients.
"Is Director Yu here?" Wei Ping asked as soon as he arrived.
"I'm here!" Yu Yanfa's voice came from the office.
At the same time, Wei Ping could feel that the views of people around him were not very good.
Especially the students wearing Yu Yan’s hairband.
Yesterday's operation left everyone puzzled as to why Yu Yanfa asked Wei Ping to participate.
"Director Yu! I just saw a patient who I suspect has breast cancer."
Wei Ping said this.
"Where is it? Let me see!"
"Old man, sit down!"
The old man sat down carefully.
He felt a little uneasy being surrounded by so many people.
Yu Yanfa said:
"There's a lump about three centimeters in diameter under my right breast, and there are swollen lymph nodes under my right armpit. These two typical features indicate a high possibility of breast cancer. I'll have an ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein test later. If confirmed, I'll be admitted to the hospital today and find a time for surgery!"
